Hello, I?m in the process of migrating a mail server to new hardware. At the same time, I?ve made the decision to switch from courier to dovecot (v2.2.13) and from what I have seen so far I?m pretty happy. I have two questions for the list. I?d like my users mailboxes (Maildir format) to look like this: Inbox UserCreatedSubFolder1 UserCreatedSubFolder2 ? Sent

I've included all posts till now. Can I ask anyone with older proliant multi-cpu hardware using the smart2 controllers to get in touch with me? I am curious to know if this works for anyone... -D Quoting Danny Carroll <fbsd@dannysplace.net>: > Still more info... > It does not work on 5_0-RELEASE either. > > -D > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Danny

Sorry to reply to myself, but I wanted to expand this to -stable and add some more info... See the original post at the bottom of this msg. I just took the Smart 2/P and put it in slot1 (one of the shared Eisa/PCI slots.) Now the Dmesg output shows the "SMP: AP CPU" lines in a different order... They were: SMP: AP CPU# 3 Launched! SMP: AP CPU# 1 Launched! SMP: AP CPU# 2 Launched! now

Dear All, We would like to migrate our existing courier to dovecot. After reading document on website and doing some tests, here are some issues we met. 1. According the the wiki, it seems to imply that once migrating from courier to dovecot, pop3 users may "lost/forget" their download "index/ history" which cause them to download again old mails that are kept on

Hi! Im making a small research about IMAP servers and it's features. As the subject suggests, I want make a shared mailbox, with per user \seen flag to work like a mailin-list works. The reason to use 1 shared folder is simple: Imagine 12k users sending 1KB messages each week, it will be 12+ MB of useless information. Many people told me that IMAP could do this, but now seem that it is a

I am not familiar with all the features that Dovecot has, but I am familiar with Courier IMAP using Maildir. Does Dovedot have a software based Maildir supporting quota program like Courier IMAP ? Can maildrop be used with Dovecot for quotas ? Courier IMAP has maildrop integrated. - If maildrop support is turned on in Courier IMAP, then a user will get a quota warning mail message

Upgrading to CentOS6 is on my list, but I'm trying to get the latest Courier-MTA running at the moment. I downloaded the current courier tarballs and tried to build the rpms on a CentOS4 system. I got these errors: $ rpmbuild -tb courier-authlib-0.64.0.tar.bz2 ... libtool: link: ar cru .libs/libauthpipe.a authpipe.o authpipelib.o libtool: link: ranlib .libs/libauthpipe.a libtool: link: (

I do realize from the Wiki that the formats are incompatible, and am looking at the Courier spec (http://www.courier-mta.org/imap/?README.imapkeywords.html) and the Dovecot spec (http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/Maildir) trying to see if there's any sane way I could try and write a shellscript. The pain here is the Courier spec, I think I lost a few brain cells trying to understand

I've got a weird split setup where POP3 is currently handled by Courier (courier-imap-3.0.2 distribution), and IMAP is currently handled by the RHEL 5 version of Dovecot (1.0.7) I'm trying to figure out a way to convert the POP3 UIDLs (in cases where the courierpop3dsizelist is newer than dovecot-uidlist, at least) to something that Dovecot will read, or to configure Dovecot's pop3 to

Fyi... Sam Varshavik (courier-imap developer) claims (on the courier-imap list, see attached) dovecot is incorrectly parsing messages with missing/invalid "MIME-Version:" header... I have no clue if he is correct... if so, maybe this has already been fixed? -------------- next part -------------- An embedded message was scrubbed...

Hi Guys, Username: RobertDiamond Background: Australian engineer working for a very small IT consultancy Proposed Wiki contribution: An idiots guide, OK a HowTo, on compiling and running the courier email server package on Centos7. I'm just finishing off setting up a replacement courier email server (www.courier-mta.org) for our small office. I've taken good notes on the steps

Hello, this is probably a dumb question, but I can't for the life of me figure out why sendmail and courier are classified universally as network-mail-mta whereas dovecot is in places like network-mail-general or some such place. I've used several Linux distros and have noted this keenly (they also normally classify photorec, the HD recovery tool as hardware-photography,so this may just be

Are there existing rpms for courier mta? I am working from: http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual-users-and-domains-with-postfix-courier-mysql-and-squirrelmail-fedora-14-x86_64 And am making progress with postfix and mysql, but looking ahead to other steps. I see squirrelmail is in EPEL.

Hi. Uhm... yeah as the topic implies I want to have . (dots) in my folder names... Unfortunately dovecot's maildirmake hasn't a -f switch as the one from courier/maildrop, but that one in turn is buggy[0] and doesn't encode any characters at all. In principle, maildir++ should allow[1] having (encoded) dots in folder names,... but I don't quite understand how the encoding

I've found what I think is an inconsistency in the Maildir quota implementation. According to the Maildir++ quota specification at: http://www.inter7.com/courierimap/README.maildirquota.html Maildir++ quota can be specified as maximum size, or maximum number of messages, or even both. The size specification is supposed to be in bytes. So I could use '10000000S' to set a quota of

Hi! I am currently in the process of preparing a migration of our old Courier-based IMAP/POP server setup to a Dovecot-based one. During this process I came across the following problem with the difference Courier and Dovecot handle deleted messages and mail quota. Quote from http://www.courier-mta.org/imap/README.maildirquota.html: ,---- | The default application configuration that uses this

Hi, I have only recently become aware of Dovecot and gave it a try. The previous 0.99.9.1 version didn't work well for me (OpenSSL), I dropped it, but 0.99.10 has come just in time (saw it on freshmeat) and I thought I'd give it another try if it promised SSL fixes, and it's sorta working for me (i. e. it works with mutt, Mozilla, sylpheed, but not cone -- but cone is beta and has SSL

Right now, trying to create folders with "/" or "." in their name can yield strange results, because Dovecot simply turns every occurrence of the current folder hierarchy separator in a folder name given by the client into a "." (or so it seems). If the folder separator isn't ".", clients can try to create folders with names containing ".",

Since Sunday morning, one of my CentOS servers has been generating a small spike of outbound traffic every 30 minutes (X:00 and X:30). It's not enough traffic to really cause any notice except for the fact that it is a very regular pattern and it started abruptly at midnight Sunday. This server is used for mail (Courier-MTA), and DNS (Bind). I cannot find anything unusual in either of
